PLA doesn't have the strength that I need. ABS does - at least in the filament I own. I also believe that I have clogged my extruder or the filament feed system, because I'm getting a clicking noise when it prints, or when I go to the menu and feed filament. I've read that it is sometimes dust buildup in the tube, which may also be clogging my extruder?
I would be curious to see what the ABS prints look like in a correctly configured printer.
I have two other issues/questions:
1. One of the things I notice with rafting and supports is that my bottom layers (or underside of the build object) aren't anywhere near as clean as the top and sides. What is that an indicator of?
2. I'm not sure how to resolve that, either. So for clarification as to my parts not fitting - when I print shells - do those count against my tolerances - if so how much? IE, if I print a 2mm radius circle cutout, will a 1.99mm object fit into that? How do I know how much room to give the build so the objects freely fit inside?
